It is very well deserved. I LOVE this cover, front and back, and it was just one of many clever designs she came up with. Sarah is not only a talented designer, but also an award-winning writer herself. Check out her books (both also with gorgeous covers designed by hers truly): her short story collection Coming Up Roses, and her novel Dead People's Music, one of my favourite reads of last year.
She has her own website - visit www.poppyshock.com to see her diverse talents. And just lately she has started a graphic blog of her time as the Buddle Findlay Sargeson Fellow. Such talent, and all this achieved as a mother of three. I take my hat off to her and thank her for doing such a wonderful job on Magpie Hall and for (hee hee) bringing attention to it again!

Yay for Sarah - it is a great cover.
Oh I sympathise on the selling and buying houses thing - it's such hard work!
Well-deserved - the cover is amazing.
A cover worthy of judging the book by. Nice one Sarah.
Rachel I loved loved your book "The Sound of Butterflies" and I would like to buy "Magpie Hall" - only now I have an ereader... do you know if it is available anywhere for Kobo ereaders?
I think you can get the e book of Magpie Hall at www.whitcoulls.co.nz. Thanks for stopping by!
I think the very first comment I left on your blog was about cover design - it's a gorgeous book.
Congratulations to Sarah - and to you, Rachael, for having her cool design on your book.
